Has anyone figured out how to make the top notification bar transparent? Like Windows 7 Aero for example.
Thanks

I went on the site and enabled transparency and read this:
"if your ROM does not supports transparency -you will not get transparent background."
Does Mosaic III Diet support it?!

You're running Mosaic II which is JVH right? It's SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_background.9.png
It doesn't really do much just having it transparent like you'd think because the screen area that's used is all below that. Unless something else is modified, wallpaper is cut off right there. You can see the notification tray slide under it and animation effects under it though. That bad thing is the date and notifications use the same image so when they pop up, they're transparent as well and are supposed to cover up the icons on the left, so it slides up this half wide bar that show the icons behind it and that part is 2x as opaque (2 transparencies overlayed) so you can where it cuts off.

Samsung Roms don't support it for the reasons stated above. I have only seen this be able to be don't in HTC based Roms as they support it

For those using CM6 and miss sense

Edit: seems the Vatsense removes the auto brightness toggle, for me this isnt an issue but beware for those who depend upon it
PM me if you have any suggestions for apps,widgets, or any other add-ons that give CM6 a better Sense feel and ill post a link
beautiful widgets make sure its atleast version 3
Thanks works great

Nice Find! works great! Feels like 2.1 sense
if your looking for a HTC Sense flipclock exact replica, get fancy widget.
HTC ripped it off the market, they didnt like it, but if you google for the apk, you can find it... V1.3.0
AND, if your looking for a sense lockscreen, use widget locker,
you can set the UI to Sense under its settings
looks pretty cool.

not many people know this for some odd reason but even before i found this it was possible from the start to change the status bar to any color you choose (purple, red, gree, black...) you would hafta got to CM settings and go into user interface from there and theres alot of options to change the colors and even the transparency of the pulldown bar, text colors, ect.

Reboot.
if that doesn't work, you can go under the notification colors, and under the status bar notifications(the first section), make sure everything is #ffffff
Did all the that and still it stays black. Every thing else is perfect.

Make sure you set it to #ffffffff and after typing in the color code, press the white circle in the center or it won't save.

[Q] How can I get color menu/progress bar back on Paragon RC6?

Hey all, out of about 7 diff ROM's I have been pretty stuck on paragon RC5 and I just flashed RC6 last night and was wondering how I could get color menu's back. I know its small and stupid want, but I really liked the color menu's and green progress bar of RC5. I am still too new to post on the official Paragon ROM thread but I was just wondering if anyone figured out how to get them back. I noticed on the official thread there are 3 theme packs for paragon... black/green, black/blue, and black/red... If I flash one of these will I get color menu's and color progress bar back? Thanks!
If you look through the Paragon thread, you'll see that eSPyeL posted a CWM flashable file to restore the settings menu color and talked about releasing a 6.1 which would also restore color to the power button menu.

You think it will restore the green status bars as well? I'm really digging the rom... just miss the color.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
It doesn't. eSPeyL seemed to have scaled back on the color significantly on his latest release. Some of the themes might restore what you are looking for, but I haven't tried any yet... I'm waiting for the orange one.

[REQ] Transparent 5 App Drawer for GB ROMs

There's a transparent 4 app drawer for GB ROMs but no 5 app version.
Can anyone do this, or let me know how and I'll do it? Is it just a case of editing an xml file?
Apologies if this has been covered before for GB, the search didn't come up with anything useful.
Thanks,

Is nobody using folders? Folders are my favorite part of tsf shell! I have one set up for all of my emulator games, each game has a custom icon that is specific to the game, and with the whole finger-follow cascade effect, it's just pure awesome.

Wow! This theme is VERY nicely done. A new favorite for me. Noticed the circle battery in status bar stays CM blue and signal bars don't change color to show connection to Google servers. Also, the browser icon in bookmarks widget is huge for some reason. See below. Contacts and dialer look perfect.
